Ranieri excess for not starting Giovinco was that he didn't want to start with Del Piero on the bench because it would of sent the players the wrong meassage that the captain was starting on the bench and the match would of been less important
More excuses from mr. bean. As someone mentioned as long as ranieri is around seba won't get he's chance. Its either ranieri or gio in this club.......

So if this game wasn't the game for him, when is? When can we get a "less pressurised" game than this? If he doesn't want to send the wrong message to the team, then DP can never rest? Look, if something happens to DP now, the team will suffer because they wouldn't know how to do jack shit without him.

Maybe Giovinco will come in then, but don't you think it would be better if Giovinco gets more playing time to keep match fit, keep morale (Ranieri seems to care about Marchionni's morale a lot), get integrated into the side and have someone who is more readily available to replace DP should he get burned out or injured becuase of his tender, young body.

“Sebastian Giovinco would like to play more, but the team is doing well and for now he has to fight for his place. I am happy with the way he is training and behaving, though, so he will certainly get his chance."

Gio is clearly not playing as much for the following reasons:

1- ranieri is convinced that nedved and DP can play 90 minutes for all matches of the season.

2- Ranieri does not know how to fit Gio's ability to the team's system.

IMO nedved and DP should have been rested yesterday for De Ceglie and Gio.

yess. it was the perfect chance to start them both.... and a good chance for albin ekdal to get some playing time.

...but i think all of them will play more once we start playing the coppa italia matches..

I lean towards thinking that Ranieri sees Giovinco as our new Zalayeta ie our 5:th choice striker. LM is for Nedved, De Ceglie and Salihamidzic.
he must understand that you cannot bring in dc and sali and keep gio for the rest of the season with 10 minutes played :tdown: . if the coach goes..the kid will play... i want to know your opinion about the reasons behind ranieri's not using gio (except he is an idiot..moron...etc). maybe it can be a board decision?
